I’ve been toying with this SCP idea for a while, and I thought I’d finally make an earnest attempt at writing it.

The SCP is a phenomena that manifests itself within a specific area: most likely a park, or perhaps a stretch of a highway/river. Infrequently, dead bodies will turn up at these areas, at about the same rate or at a higher rate as other notorious dumping sites (Leakin Park, East River, etc.). While the corpses themselves have no anomalous properties, they are unidentifiable. There is little identification on them, and what little there is (ex. clothing tags) does not match up with any known records. DNA testing provides partial matches to persons or families, though when investigated or questioned, no relatives that fit this description exist. I’m hoping the insinuation is that the dead bodies turn up from some sort of parallel reality, that is similar to ours, aside from differences in the people that exist and certain minor events/pop culture/place names.

My main worry is that there may be an SCP similar to this one; if there is, I’d appreciate a heads-up so I can rework this idea. I’m also wondering that if this is indeed original, it may be too boring. I’ve been toying with the idea of having a specific cause of death for all the bodies found, most likely something unconventional/unexpected of a body found in a forested area nearby an urban city (fall from thousands of feet, unidentified animal bites, etc.). Or perhaps there’s something inside/missing from the bodies, or maybe it's just certain body parts (like a play on the Salish Sea foot discoveries). A big thing I’m debating on is whether or not to have the deaths be unrelated and play with a range of strange conditions the bodies are found in, or if the bodies would all be of a similar demographic and death method; perhaps the victim of a serial killer in a parallel reality, who found a site where dumped bodies vanish without a trace. I’m also considering including specific details about some of the DNA matches, heavily implying these victims are the offspring of existing people that did not get together, for one reason or another.

Sorry if this seems like too much information. I’ve been thinking about this idea a lot, and I have a lot of concepts to sort through.

This is similar to 3598, which is an extradimensional park where bodies are dumped. Maybe read that and try to find a way to separate your idea from it a little.

I'd say stay away from serial killer because that 3598 kind of has that covered already. The deaths being unrelated I quite like though, I think if you want to do this you should run with that. Maybe there's no one killing them at all?

Thank you for the heads up! That last suggestion gave me inspiration for a potential direction to take this idea. Perhaps the corpses aren't actual decadents, but realistic corpses 'grown' in the forest. When human DNA comes into contact with the soil, it is treated like a seed and some sort of body or body part is grown, varying depending on the type of DNA it grew from (hair, saliva, blood, etc.).
